I have a Hyosung 125 Cruise 2 which I have been riding for about a year and a half. About 4 months ago I put it away in a garage as I was going back to Northern Ireland for a few months.
It ran perfect before I left, other than a flat tyre and and a slight engine oil leak.
Since I have been home I have tried to start it but have had no joy.
There is Petrol and enough engine oil still in the bike so thats fine.
When I press the start button it tries to turn over but it won't catch. I think the battery is fine as the lights and horn are grand.

Can anyone give me a bit of advice on what things I can try myself to fix it?____________________Life sucks then you die.

Fuel has probably gone stale and left a varnish in your carb, So invest in some redex or carb cleaner... as well as a full tank of fresh fuel and a new spark plug (Or 2 if a twin)
I can pretty much guarantee it'll start up after that =P____________________Riding: Yamaha RXS100

Also bad earthing in general lol...
Is the cruise still a v twin or is it the single cylinder one?____________________Current ride : Suzuki GSXR1000 L0 - Suzuki SV650 track bikeMy biking history so farRogerborg wrote: Whole life care for a VTR full of quadraspazzed Darrryls and Shoniq'uas cost mad dollah.

It's a single..
You say it has terrible earthing, is there anything she could do (read 'I can do') to resolve that?

Well theres 2 wires on the starter, wire the earth cable directly to an earth spot on the frame.

See if you can bump start it beforehand...____________________Current ride : Suzuki GSXR1000 L0 - Suzuki SV650 track bikeMy biking history so farRogerborg wrote: Whole life care for a VTR full of quadraspazzed Darrryls and Shoniq'uas cost mad dollah.

invest in a trickle charger, about £50. My old man swears by them, ive got one and its great. It doesnt use electricity as long as your battery is charged, but if the charge drops a bit, it automatically kicks in and brings it back upto level. Some can bbring totally dead batterys back to life, i had a battery which would not charge from anything for love no money, but put my trickle charger on and now its like a new battery.
Great item, excellent investment!

start from scratch, take out spark plug, crank it over and check compression.

See if there is a spark. if not check the ht lead and cap.
Try a new spark plug if HT lead appears to be working.
Make sure there is oil in the bike.
pour a small amount of petrol down the bore and insert plug and attempt to fire it up.
if there is still f-all, check the earths.. mainly the starter one, make sure the connections are clean everywhere.
